Mulgrew Savors Post-Trek Life

Star Trek: Voyager star Kate Mulgrew told SCI FI Wire that there's life after Star Trek and that she's enjoying it. "I am, immensely," Mulgrew said in an interview. "I must say that I'm probably busier now than I was when I was doing the show, and I don't have the regimented schedule we had on Voyager."
Since wrapping seven years of Trek in April, Mulgrew has been catching up with her family, spending time with her sons, stepdaughters and husband, Ohio politician Tim Hagan. Her next project will be a one-woman stage show entitled Tea at Five, which stars Mulgrew as Katharine Hepburn and tracks the acting legend's career from the ages of 33 to 76. Mulgrew said that the show will open in Hartford, Conn., in February 2002, to be followed, hopefully, by a run in New York.
Though she may be boldly going elsewhere, Mulgrew knows Voyager will be around forever in repeats. And that's fine with her. "I'm proud of Voyager," she said. "I think Star Trek series often garner more respect upon reflection. So I think that if viewers watch the reruns, they'll experience entirely different feelings than they did in the moment. In the moment, it's very competitive. People are more demanding. They're more relaxed upon reflection. But I was proud of Voyager, in the moment. I never counted the [ratings] numbers. That would have been very counterproductive. All I can say is that I gave Voyager everything I have, and I'm deeply proud of it."
